Ask [Belsavis] Durin-My Way

[Naxa]

Bot-Tri, Belsavis
​

Belsavis, a planet that N4-X4 had a history with. The planet had a base formerly used as an Imperial Remnant. But before that, it had also been a prison camp and durinium refinery. It had been perhaps decades since the place had seen any sort of activity aside from the droid using it as a glorified parking spot in the wake of the battle of Ryloth. The planet was isolated and given recent events, was not seeing much in the way of reinforced civilization. It had been ages since the droid returned fully. Bot-Tri, one of the domed cities of the world, had defenses enough to keep the Haxion Brood from occupying them, so far. A Haxion Brood enclave had rooted itself in the absence of other inhabitants while Naxa was away. The droid's own ship, the Hex was somewhere on the surface, possibly already scrapped. But the commando droid didn't feel any sense of loss at the ship. It would be replaced.

What did concern the droid, was the dangerous element that was occupying an ideal area for the MorataCorp agenda. As head of security, it was the machine's job to make sure that everything was secure. In orbit there was a patrolling force consisting of a drone barge. The ship was likely the Brood's main control hub since there was nearly a hundred TIE/TDs patrolling the airspace Naxa was keen on. While a squadron of them was manageable for any decent pilot, the sheer number of them would be problematic. It was a smart setup to have the droid starfighters as disposable early warning systems. But it just meant they would have to bust through with overt might, or take down the drone barge they were slaved to.

"After we engage, there may be other hostiles that present themselves. If you see a launch vector of any fighter craft on the surface share your data." The droid said in an effort to encourage cooperation. There were others that were under the droids direction for this operation and the the machine prefered to work well oiled. Fixer 1 was docked at the local space port and was not much to look at. But it was better for the time being than calling in the big guns. A corvette was overkill and also overplaying their hand. A few smaller ships with decent crews would be enough to deal with it.

A recent deal made with LXE has MorataCorp with a new small exploratory fleet would give the employees more 'company cars' in the form of astrogation vessels. The company's logo on the side and a green and white paint scheme. There was still ore deposits on the planet but were tough to get at. With a possible deal with a mining company and getting the rights to the find, not to mention clearing it of any dangerous presence, it would stand to reason they would be able to get a great deal on the resources harvested. But first things first. They had pirate droid TIE fighters and had to deal with it and probably more if the droid's analysis was anything to go off of.

@Lorcan had a history with legal trouble from the droid's cursory background check on the man. But that was good and his background as a Sector Ranger was even better. If there were concerns about breaking the law, or at least getting caught doing something, hopefully the man would catch anything the droid had missed. There was a third joing them, a Mandalorian by the name of @Cigo Duarn . A Mandalorian mercenary that the droid did not know too much about. Perhaps the warrior would consider commiting to more consistent employment though the odds of that were low.

@Topher Ridge @Nefieslab Dice thread here.

 

[Lorcan]

Lorcan was working with a droid and a Mando – so basically he was working with a droid and someone who wished they had the same metal outer shell as a droid. As expected it made for absolutely riveting conversation. Between the Mando in their shell and the droid being, well, a droid it wasn’t hard to see that Lorcan would be bored and quiet.

Bored was easy to understand but quiet? Yes, quiet because Lorcan usually only spoke up to antagonize people when there was a reaction he would actually enjoy. It was why he enjoyed toying with Corran and some others but these two? Galaxy’s least reactive audience they weren’t but not for lack of trying.

The Sith had had more fun.

His gunship was waiting but he was otherwise just loitered are, the small crew he managed to keep employed for his ship lounging at their stations with cigaras.

“Don’t worry shiny-skin, I’m counting on more hostiles.” He joked a little bit, “I’ll point them out as I blow them to pieces.”

He took a pull of a cigara of his own.

“What about you buckethead? You more like the Boba-Tea dude or the stormtroopers when it comes to hitting the broad side of a saarlac?”

[Cigo Duarn]

Ah Cigo loved the smell of fresh credits in the morning. His account was nice stacked after the initial payment from...Motorcorp...Meloncorp...oh right Moratacorp! He had no idea what the hell the company did, but they were willing to hire his gun to help clear out a local nuisance and the price was oh so right to interest Cigo.

It was the time for the usual meet and greet for these types of missions, where they'd get briefed on the basic plan and get to know the other members of the squad. Though Cigo had to admit it was gonna be a bit odd to take orders from a droid. An antique of a droid for that matter as Cigo didn't think he'd ever seen a BX series in person. He'd deal with it however as a job was a job. Besides he needed the other half of his payment after all. The other guy just seemed like your typical spacer from what the Mando could gather. Though from his garb he was also probably an ex-sector ranger, or hell current SR as that outfit was always more on the rag-tag side of things. Either way Cigo was here to get paid, so he leaned against some crates with his helmet sat next to him on some cargo as he got to know them. Helmet off as he wasn't one those Mandos that refused to doff their armor in front of others. Cigo still didn't quite understand how those guys got anything done like that.

As Lorcan decided to have a bit of fun at his comrades; expense Cigo just chuckled. "Oh I'd say I'm more likely to hit something than not and I don't plan on getting bested by any blind smugglers anytime soon. I gotta say I do appreciate that you recognize a good blaster when you see one." Cigo would motion to the Westar-55 on Lorcan's hip. "Though I find most people who carry the 55 are usually over compensating for something." A smirk would find Cigo's lips and he'd turn to the droid. "Don't sweat it 'clanker', you'll be the first to know if the skies get too unfriendly."
